40 years ago today, the BDSC made its 1st shipment. To celebrate, Trudy Kaufman, who packed the 1st shipment, boxed up the same kinds of flies for John Roote at Cambridge, who placed the 1st order. Watch for pics of the arrival next week. We’ve shipped 4,882,378 vials total. That’s a lot of flies!

US policy is: if you’re smart, don’t come, and if you’re already here, leave.

International students in the US would face a $100,000 price tag to work a science job in the country after graduation under a proposal made public yesterday by the Trump administration go.nature.com/4AWqQi8

This is going to make it very difficult to know which sports we should ban them from.

Some avocados are female in the morning and male in the afternoon, while others are on the opposite schedule. This helps them avoid self-pollination. How do they do it? A @ucdavis.bsky.social study explains. www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/st...

We are seeing a near-record early melt-out of sea ice in the Barents Sea region of the #Arctic this summer. This is at least partially in response to the anomalous warmth there the last several months. Map of the general location: zacklabe.com/arctic-clima...

Roughly half of STEM PhD students in the U.S. are international students. 75% of them stay in the U.S. long term after graduating to contribute their skills to U.S. scientific research and development. Cutting international student visas hurts U.S. science now and long into the future.

David J. Bier@davidjbier.bsky.social

Visas for international students were down 40% last summer, thanks to a slew of policies designed to throttle visa issuances and scare off students. Students from 40 countries are now outright banned.

I'm a data scientist @ourworldindata.org and I need help from a botanist or someone local to Kyoto, Japan! 🌸 We present one of the world’s longest climate records: 1,200 years of peak cherry blossom dates in Kyoto. The researcher who maintained it, Prof. Yasuyuki Aono, sadly passed away last year.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
